Prose from a Poshboy

[cambridgealex]

Say there's 6 regs and 2 fish. The fish each have £1k and are probably 80% to lose it. That's £1600 between 6 regs = £266 each night on average. That's fine tyvm.

More commonly, there's 3/4 strong regs, not 6. I think, Jason, you're under the impression that Simon Deadman, Andy Hulme, Nick Hicks, Neil Giblin play those cash games every day. They don't. Simon almost never plays anything higher than 50/1, Andy grinds online 95% of nights, Nick and Neil both play online most of the time too, and probably come in once a week on average.

The only person I play with pretty much every day is Mitch, and in the last month, Peejay. Sean most of the time too. Mitch is basically my only long-term competitor in the games and although he's very good at flopping sets, there's enough liquidity in the games for the both of us. The proof is in the pudding... I see PJ as a long term fixture now too, but no-one else really.

Tikay, I will be sure to go to the Railway museum, I'll get a photo to prove it!

Yes!

The prize exhibit - obviously - is this beauty, which both my Gandad & Dad drove, & fired on. It is truly the world's greatest steam locomotive.

When it went to America in 1927, my Grandad went with it, as the British Rail rep, & the Americans presented him with the commemorative brass bell which remains, to this day, on the front of the locomotive.

Family connections aside, it's surely not as great as the Mallard or the Flying Scotsman, both in the same museum?

Skippy!

I'm in a wonderful mood, & I try to avoid argument, but this is not even close.

For starters, "Flying Scotsman & "Mallard" are both LNER locomotives, (the railway equivelant of Argos) whilst King George V is GWR, ("God's Wonderful Railway"), which is more sort of Harrods.  Game over, really.

Then we get to hue, & colour. Blue. BLUE?

No self-respecting locomotive should ever be blue. Thomas excepted.

I don't wish that we ruin Alex's lovely thread, but please, do be serious.

And if we are being serious, no, they are not anything like as wonderful, or iconic, as 6000. I see that Loco in exactly the same way that Plenners sees NUFC.

Lol @ skippy the philistine trying to show his knowledge. At least the 3 year olds assessment that Henry is green and Thomas is blue was a well thought out response

Gordon was always my favourite. #bigandblue

[smashedagain]

And you are right Alex. My sample sizes are always small in any observation ( and blinkered )

Don't forget Gordon. Nothing wrong with blue there either.

Sounds like sentimentality overruling objectivity there. Can't deny the engineering achievements of both the LNER engines.

Besides, GWR going standard gauge was like Al Fayad buying Harrods. Used to be posh, but now just panders to the masses .

Doh. Beaten to the Gordon reference.

I've just checked your hendon mob herbie, what's going on?! Not a score since March 2011, nothing 5figures since November 2010?

Surely you can't back track and blame it on variance? After all you preached a year ago when you first started posting!

Then I got to thinking a bit more about it after seeing you won a £2k pot off Nick last night thought I would come and see how you got on by the end of the night. To be sat with 6 mates for a high percentage of the time can only ever end in tears as you just can't all make a living from the game. There simply is not enough Leicester /Donny fish or whales with till like Walster or Neil to provide a decent long term income for you all. Playing big pots with mates of equal ability (I have no idea out of you, Mitch, hicks, Stato, the toms, Simon, pj and the others i dont know h as any edge) means that the money just gets pushed round the table falling into the rake box. Taking it to the extreme only 5% of players are gonna make a long term living from the game which is less than 1 person on two tables in Dtd.


Funny enough I said more or less this to Alex Friday at the club ,IMO they need to do a few road trips now the cash games slowed down a bit at the club
